Zambian teenager Besa Mumba has broken the stereotype of a typical teenager interested in nothing but fashion and social media. At 19, she is one of the youngest pilots in the world. Thuli Tshabalala reports

Why do young girls never dream of becoming pilots? Over 100 years since the first woman flew an aircraft, it’s still very much a man’s world. Fewer than 5% of pilots across the globe are female.
This International Woman’s Day, our Chain of Betters project is helping Siba Gqirana, a young woman from South Africa who is determined to beat those odds.
Siba was nominated by CaptainKara Hatzai, a commercial airline pilot from Kentucky, USA, who heard about Siba’s story and nominated her to be the next link in the Chain.
Siba had already come a long way from the township where she grew up, thanks to her determination to complete her education and the sacrifices her family has made to support her. But she still lacked the funds to complete her training as a pilot.
Thanks to Kara’s nomination, Western Union has provided Siba with the money she needs to complete her training and qualify as a pilot. Now Siba can realize her dream in months not years, relieving the financial strain on her family.
This is what we call moving money for better.
Western Union believes we can tackle inequality with education. Siba is proof of that. That’s why the Western Union Foundation has also pledged $1,000,000 to change the lives of more girls and women through their Education for Better program.
And in support of International Woman’s Day, this March we are offering 5 additional Chain of Betters awards of $1,000 for ideas that focus on female education and social progress. Submit your own idea to make the world better for others at http://www.chainofbetters.com

Ever since the wright brothers flew the first airplane in 1903, aviation has been dominated by men. But there is a new face of flight. She was the first woman to be given a national flying license in Ghana. The first time she saw a plane, she was frightened but curious to know more about the planes.
Her parents abandoned her and with no one to pay for aviation training, her sheer love for planes and a lot of hardwork landed her in an aviation school. She was exceptional from the rest of the male students.
This a story of hope and great motivation. This is a story of Patricia Mawuli.

A new and improved version(I think anyway) of my video, showing some of the cool stuff we see while out and about on track. Hope you like this edit.
Thanks for all the positive comments and ratings of the old version, but I wanted to use Johnny Clegg's "Impi" in a video so this was my chance. Dedicated to the front line troops, Impis, who make it happen.

South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

Africa Air Charter Flight 737 200 - Some Pilot Error!

Africa Air Charter Flight 737 200 - Some Pilot Error!

Something you don't see Everyday!!!
The pilot of this Boeing 737 had a night departure from Hoedspruit, South Africa, to Johannesburg.
He proceeded to take the wrong taxiway.
Having arrived at a dead end he then attempted to turn around by both engine's thrust reversers.
He misjudged the width and put the main gear off the taxiway.
The aircraft continue to rolled back down the bank. He then tried to climb out using full engine power.
With the engines that close to the ground, grass and stones were ingested.
If it wasn't raining the jet blast would probably have set fire to the surrounding bush.
Notice the burnt grassy environment in the photos.
The aircraft has been written off. The cost of the engines alone exceeded the insured value.
No passengers were on board at the time.

Why do young girls never dream of becoming pilots? Over 100 years since the first woman flew an aircraft, it’s still very much a man’s world. Fewer than 5% of pilots across the globe are female.
This International Woman’s Day, our Chain of Betters project is helping Siba Gqirana, a young woman from South Africa who is determined to beat those odds.
Siba was nominated by CaptainKara Hatzai, a commercial airline pilot from Kentucky, USA, who heard about Siba’s story and nominated her to be the next link in the Chain.
Siba had already come a long way from the township where she grew up, thanks to her determination to complete her education and the sacrifices her family has made to support her. But she still lacked the funds to complete her training as a pilot.
Thanks to Kara’s nomination, Western Union has provided Siba with the money she needs to complete her training and qualify as a pilot. Now Siba can realize her dream in months not years, relieving the financial strain on her family.
This is what we call moving money for better.
Western Union believes we can tackle inequality with education. Siba is proof of that. That’s why the Western Union Foundation has also pledged $1,000,000 to change the lives of more girls and women through their Education for Better program.
And in support of International Woman’s Day, this March we are offering 5 additional Chain of Betters awards of $1,000 for ideas that focus on female education and social progress. Submit your own idea to make the world better for others at http://www.chainofbetters.com

Somalia celebrates Africa's first female pilot, Asli Hassan Abade.

Somalia is celebrating the continent’s first female pilot who was an officer of the country’s Air Force decades ago.
The 59-year-old Asli Hassan Abade, returned permanently to Somalia in July 2017 after over two decades abroad. Till date, she is the country’s first and only female pilot having made her first flight in 1976.
She left Somalia in the 1970s to train as a pilot in Italy and later moved to the United States. She returned to her native land to join the Somali Air Force and started flying planes in 1976.
I could not believe that I was actually in Mogadishu. I looked at the ocean, raised my hands up and inhaled the fresh, natural and unpolluted air. It was a magical moment.
She attributes her successful career in the country’s Air Force to the support women received...

Somali female pilot takes to the skies to rebuild her country

Somalia has only ever had one female pilot. But her story is an extraordinary one. And she's committed to rebuilding her country. CGTN's Abdulaziz Billow brings us more.

Somalia is celebrating the continent’s first female pilot who was an officer of the country’s Air Force decades ago.
The 59-year-old Asli Hassan Abade, returned permanently to Somalia in July 2017 after over two decades abroad. Till date, she is the country’s first and only female pilot having made her first flight in 1976.
She left Somalia in the 1970s to train as a pilot in Italy and later moved to the United States. She returned to her native land to join the Somali Air Force and started flying planes in 1976.
I could not believe that I was actually in Mogadishu. I looked at the ocean, raised my hands up and inhaled the fresh, natural and unpolluted air. It was a magical moment.
She attributes her successful career in the country’s Air Force to the support women received from the government in that era. She grew up near the Mogadishu airport back in the day and believes seeing planes fly and land fueled her interest in becoming a pilot.
After a decade of service with the Somali Air Force, Ms. Abade left the country again and married an American aircraft engineer.
“We settled in Dallas Fort Worth in Texas, to start a family. My husband and I are blessed with a girl and three boys,” she told the United Nations mission in Somalia.
Ms. Abade visited Somalia in July 2017 for the second time in six years. In 2011 she flew into Mogadishu to deliver medical supplies to the Forlanini (Lazaretto) Children’s Hospital as the country was grappling with its worst famine in many years.
She fondly recalled her 2011 trip which lasted less than 24 hours due to the presence of insurgent group, Al-Shabaab in the capital Mogadishu. “I did not have the liberty to move around Mogadishu like I am doing now, or talk to the media.
“There were several former colleagues, officers and pilots, waiting to receive me at the airport. I cried, and they all got emotional and cried with me. When I stepped out of the plane, I first kissed the ground.”
“I could not believe that I was actually in Mogadishu. I looked at the ocean, raised my hands up and inhaled the fresh, natural and unpolluted air. It was a magical moment,” she said.
Somalia’s Foreign AffairsPress and Public Relations wing led the congratulatory messages for Asli. Many nationals joined on social media platform Twitter.

Faces of Africa - Female Pilot

Ever since the wright brothers flew the first airplane in 1903, aviation has been dominated by men. But there is a new face of flight. She was the first woman to be given a national flying license in Ghana. The first time she saw a plane, she was frightened but curious to know more about the planes.
Her parents abandoned her and with no one to pay for aviation training, her sheer love for planes and a lot of hardwork landed her in an aviation school. She was exceptional from the rest of the male students.
This a story of hope and great motivation. This is a story of Patricia Mawuli.

Zambia's youngest pilot in the world

Zambian teenager Besa Mumba has broken the stereotype of a typical teenager interested in nothing but fashion and social media. At 19, she is one of the youngest pilots in the world. Thuli Tshabalala reports

Beating the odds as a female pilot. South Africa. #IWD2016 #ChainOfBetters

Why do young girls never dream of becoming pilots? Over 100 years since the first woman flew an aircraft, it’s still very much a man’s world. Fewer than 5% of pilots across the globe are female.
This International Woman’s Day, our Chain of Betters project is helping Siba Gqirana, a young woman from South Africa who is determined to beat those odds.
Siba was nominated by CaptainKara Hatzai, a commercial airline pilot from Kentucky, USA, who heard about Siba’s story and nominated her to be the next link in the Chain.
Siba had already come a long way from the township where she grew up, thanks to her determination to complete her education and the sacrifices her family has made to support her. But she still lacked the funds to complete her training as a pilot.
Thanks to Kara’s nomination, Western Union has provided Siba with the money she needs to complete her training and qualify as a pilot. Now Siba can realize her dream in months not years, relieving the financial strain on her family.
This is what we call moving money for better.
Western Union believes we can tackle inequality with education. Siba is proof of that. That’s why the Western Union Foundation has also pledged $1,000,000 to change the lives of more girls and women through their Education for Better program.
And in support of International Woman’s Day, this March we are offering 5 additional Chain of Betters awards of $1,000 for ideas that focus on female education and social progress. Submit your own idea to make the world better for others at http://www.chainofbetters.com

Faces of Africa - Female Pilot

Ever since the wright brothers flew the first airplane in 1903, aviation has been dominated by men. But there is a new face of flight. She was the first woman to be given a national flying license in Ghana. The first time she saw a plane, she was frightened but curious to know more about the planes.
Her parents abandoned her and with no one to pay for aviation training, her sheer love for planes and a lot of hardwork landed her in an aviation school. She was exceptional from the rest of the male students.
This a story of hope and great motivation. This is a story of Patricia Mawuli.

African Skies ... a Boeing 747 Pilot's playground

A new and improved version(I think anyway) of my video, showing some of the cool stuff we see while out and about on track. Hope you like this edit.
Thanks for all the positive comments and ratings of the old version, but I wanted to use Johnny Clegg's "Impi" in a video so this was my chance. Dedicated to the front line troops, Impis, who make it happen.

Somalia celebrates Africa's first female pilot, Asli Hassan Abade.

Somalia is celebrating the continent’s first female pilot who was an officer of the country’s Air Force decades ago.
The 59-year-old Asli Hassan Abade, returned permanently to Somalia in July 2017 after over two decades abroad. Till date, she is the country’s first and only female pilot having made her first flight in 1976.
She left Somalia in the 1970s to train as a pilot in Italy and later moved to the United States. She returned to her native land to join the Somali Air Force and started flying planes in 1976.
I could not believe that I was actually in Mogadishu. I looked at the ocean, raised my hands up and inhaled the fresh, natural and unpolluted air. It was a magical moment.
She attributes her successful career in the country’s Air Force to the support women received from the government in that era. She grew up near the Mogadishu airport back in the day and believes seeing planes fly and land fueled her interest in becoming a pilot.
After a decade of service with the Somali Air Force, Ms. Abade left the country again and married an American aircraft engineer.
“We settled in Dallas Fort Worth in Texas, to start a family. My husband and I are blessed with a girl and three boys,” she told the United Nations mission in Somalia.
Ms. Abade visited Somalia in July 2017 for the second time in six years. In 2011 she flew into Mogadishu to deliver medical supplies to the Forlanini (Lazaretto) Children’s Hospital as the country was grappling with its worst famine in many years.
She fondly recalled her 2011 trip which lasted less than 24 hours due to the presence of insurgent group, Al-Shabaab in the capital Mogadishu. “I did not have the liberty to move around Mogadishu like I am doing now, or talk to the media.
“There were several former colleagues, officers and pilots, waiting to receive me at the airport. I cried, and they all got emotional and cried with me. When I stepped out of the plane, I first kissed the ground.”
“I could not believe that I was actually in Mogadishu. I looked at the ocean, raised my hands up and inhaled the fresh, natural and unpolluted air. It was a magical moment,” she said.
Somalia’s Foreign AffairsPress and Public Relations wing led the congratulatory messages for Asli. Many nationals joined on social media platform Twitter.
